Building Cleaning & Restoration Projects, 24/7 – just see the videos below
We provide a complete building conservation service, from façade cleaning, paint removal, masonry repointing, stucco / façade repairs and lime plastering to the restoration and refurbishment of external building façades.
We undertake building restoration and conservation projects of all sizes, from simple brick wall repairs and lime pointing to full external façade restoration and refurbishment. We have the in-house skills and expertise to provide you with the correct solutions and guidance you need to sensitively clean, restore and repair your property.
Façade cleaning and building restoration projects can often take place whilst the building is in full use; we install scaffolding and waste management systems to manage our projects safely.
The nature of a property that requires specialist fabric restoration can vary greatly, creating a need for tailor made solutions and strategies. Every project is provided with its own unique façade cleaning plan, stone repair match (both in colour and texture), and repointing solution (whether that be flush, weather struck, recessed or a bucket handle finish). We work within listed building and conservation guidelines to provide you with a building restoration solution that you can be proud of.
We specialise in the following façade restoration and building conservation solutions for listed building, heritage and period properties:
- Specialist façade cleaning: super-heated steam, nebulous and poultice cleaning.
- Masonry repairs and repointing.
- Lime repairs and plastering.
- Stonework and brickwork restoration.
- General masonry works and stabilising.
- Terracotta works.
- Stucco and façade repairs.
- Traditional roofing and leadwork.
- Timber treatment and repairs.
Specialist Consultancy Solutions
- Specialist façade cleaning test trials and method specifications.
- Façade surveys, reporting, access and programme plans.
- Façade condition and performance surveys.
Surveyors, local authorities, building owners and managers all enlist us to help create a bespoke façade refurbishment solution.
Listed buildings and period properties are constructed with a wide variety of materials, often using local materials which need to be matched during the restoration. Beautifully designed and intelligently engineered buildings, building façades and the general external building fabric are left to fend for themselves for hundreds of years with little or no maintenance, leaving materials to weather and decay. We generally use low pressure steam cleaning methods for soft soiling matter and combine it with a range of other specialist cleaning methods such as TORC (aggregate based methods, poultice, nebulous and chemicals are used in a targeted manner to help soften certain forms of pollution). We use traditional methods of conservation to restore, preserve and maintain historic buildings for many years to come.

21st Century Façades: Breathing Life into Urban Landscapes
The urban environment has changed enormously since the majority of building maintenance concerns were focused on more traditional masonry structures, materials, pollution levels, weather patterns – even the height of most buildings are completely different to a hundred years ago. This book illustrates how Building Transformation’s methods breathe new life, energy and vitality into building skins and cities.
